Remember animals in your will

One third of our funding comes from Gifts in Wills. With a gift in your Will you can always be there for animals in laboratories.

We have joined up with our trusted partners to offer FREE will-writing services for our supporters. There is no obligation to include a gift to Cruelty Free International in your free will, but any gift however small can help end the suffering of animals in the years ahead and help our work towards a cruelty free world.

Gifts in wills

Since 1898, Cruelty Free International has worked to end animal experiments, with the support of passionate individuals just like you.

Together, we’ve campaigned tirelessly, lobbied decision-makers, conducted undercover investigations and raised public awareness of the cruelty behind the secretive animal testing industry. None of it would have been possible without our generous supporters.

Gifts in wills are incredibly important to us, making up around a third of our income. With a gift in your will, you can stand up for animals in laboratories for many years to come.

Any gift, even just a 1% share of your assets, can help to achieve a cruelty free world.

I hope that eventually there will be no need for Cruelty Free International because there will be no animal experiments! However, I realise that currently it’s probably naive to think this way. I would like to know that my money is going towards educating future generations about the realities of life for animals in laboratories.
